I am a new member and I need to know what is the defintion of a healthy relationship. I am not a passive guy and I run into problems. I also have manipulated so many women that I can smell game a mile away. Is it just really meeting someone that your conpatible with? I really don't know. I also like submissive women and I like them to be very feminine. Am I missing the whole point? PLEASE I NEED HELP ON THIS ONE PEOPLE. What can I do so I can have a healthy relationship with ONE woman?

Could it be that you like passive, submissive, feminine women, because you are scared deep down of being hurt? Have you been hurt before, and it is a defense mechanism? Maybe you manipulate to feel in control. I don't mean to offend, and please don't take this as an attack. The reason I say this, is because your comments remind me of my brother-in-law. He only dated women he felt he could emotionally dominate. He had lots and lots of girlfriends who were of "type." He eventually married and he was unhappy. He and his wife went to counseling, and he was told that his "way", was a front for being insecure in himself. He was anxious and fearful whenever anyone, especially a mate, had the ability to make his heart hurt, or made him feel vulnerable. It was a I'll hurt you first, before you hurt me, kind of thing. This may apply to you, it may not. I don't know. What I do know, is you have to be vulnerable at some point. You can't protect yourself all the time. You have to be able to risk.. to find the " one." Do you have a passive mom? Sometimes we are attracted to what we know. Just my thoughts. Good luck, be open to all women, and be honest them and with yourself. There is a great woman out there for you! She's out there..don't give up!

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
